  • I propose a compromise. How about installing a camera in his jail cell and broadcasting that 24/7?

  • Introduce radio to the Romans. They had the metallurgy to create coils. Even a simple Morse code system would easily keep their empire going. Probably end up like that Star Trek TOS where Centurions are carrying sub-machine guns, though. If want to read what a great SF writer did with this (guy from 1938 ends up in 535AD), read "Lest Darkness Fall"

  • The demonstration is key. The Greeks actually had one in 80BC or thereabouts, but as far as we know they never figured out a use for it. Wiki is here: Aeolipile

  • This really feels like crossing a line. Whelp, time to tax 'em I guess....

  • In some of our states, a "background check" is when the examiner looks up from his desk. If you're blocking the background, he checks the "good to own a firearm" box.

  • Sure, they're cute now, but when they get bigger people don't want them around anymore, and suddenly you've got a Sewer Bison problem.

  • You're correct if that's the case. I re-read the linked article but didn't see anything about carelessness on the inspector's part. Edit: Of course, he could have been wearing one of the company's free T-shirts showing off their products, but...

  • The man, a robotics company worker in his 40s, was inspecting the robot’s sensor operations>

    Well, guess which robot gets a big, fat, "F" on his sensor grade?

  • Hate speech is all the same. Fill-in-the-blank, then spout.

  • OR, and hear me out, throw nails in neighbor's face. Offer to drive neighbor to the ED, then say, "Aw, I can't. I'm blocked in." Edit: Forgot /s.

  • I find the covenant contract very interesting. " sign a binding contract agreeing that they would divorce only in the case of abuse, abandonment, imprisonment of a spouse, or lengthy separation. A covenant couple, no matter how miserable, cannot simply decide to divorce."

    No mention of infidelity?

  • Knockoff costume. You can tell by the commbadge placement.

  • I wonder if Walmart would have been smart to prepare survival items ahead of time, put it out on the curb, and say "Here, take this." Anything past that would be theft of course, but Walmart could get positive PR for "donating" stuff they were going to lose anyway.

  • I'm firmly convinced that this guy thinks, "If only there were a law against this, I could stop myself"...

    Edit: I only care if someone is honest, and good - not who they're attracted to. But when this sort of thing concerns you so much, you're definitely obsessed. Why would he be obsessed with gay stuff unless it were deeply personal?

  • Let it be the glasses. I can tell them to show me a pony, whereas I can't have an intelligent pony balanced on the bridge of my nose.

  • But are Hamas going to be blamed for those deaths?>

    Yes, probably. Just as when a bank robber's partner - or a civilian in the bank, etc - is shot and killed by responding police, the robber is charged with murder. The idea is that the dead person would not have been in that situation had it not been for the robber, making them the responsible party.

  • Tony Stark's glasses with a compatible, programmable AI. And a pony.

  • Give artists a basic universal income, and I guarantee every single person on earth will suddenly discover their "inner Picasso" to qualify.

  • I hear you and agree. Not all loud, dramatic anti-gay people are actually saying, "Hey! Look what I'm not! At all! Not even that one time in college!" - but it sure seems to pan out that way with politicians.
